How to fly a plane?

Elf Cakes: Perhaps, but you must admit, that text usage is quite eye catching... good contrast, clear text layout...

Well, the stupid thing is that it only looks cool since so many players idolize the commentators and gameplay streamers. It's like apple products, you see a TV star using an iphone and suddenly its sooo good, and sooo nice looking and sooo awesome. The only thing that makes it all that is because people talk about it. In my opinion 'onPC' is stupid, since games should by default be played on PC, not xbox or ps4. Full HD should be a standard by now and thus making 'in1080p' redundant and inefficient when the audience has to include it in the search criteria.

although brief it seemed like a good tutorial, but definatly lose the frankieonpc music, fonts etc as its just not nice, create your own style and people would like it more

The real (Advanced) in this vídeo is not only fly without crashing, but also land inside a forest without crash. Didnt saw that in the vídeo.

[COMMANDERPIXELonYT 22]

why does every dayZ youtube channel feel the need to adopt the 'examplenameOnYTin1080p'? be original for gods sake. so many people have the 'onPC' or 'in1080p'. just because the overrated hacker frankie uses it doesnt make it cool.

Well If you look on youtube thats not my name my name is CommanderPixel

The reason if have OnYT is literally On youtube for people who want to see more of my videos.

And as a quick heads up Ive been on youtube longer than him so that rules out any name copying lol

It's Ltr94 and as stated Previously I have used that music on my second ever intro in janurary of 2012 (Before frankie ever used it)

It's mnad when people think I'm coping him when really were two guys who liked the same music...

Decent stuff. A good tip was in the heli basics where you say to start the engine and eject to clear zombies while it fires up. Smart move as they can attack you while you're in the heli, but not when you're under the rotor blades. Most of the other info is just the controls of it, but that's a good takeaway that I don't see in other heli guides.

Looks like Herr John said it was good, so I am sure it's a good tutorial.

Some other shit about people complaining about a font or some 1080p text?

I have just found an An-2 Biplane, but i have absolutely no clue what controls i need in order to fly.

I know trust and brake, but that's it.. Is there anyone that can help me with what controls i need or a good guide?

I'd appreciate it a lot

Q is to accelerate. Dont try using arrow keys because that doesnt turn it while on the ground. Wait till you get a soeed of around 60 before pulling up, but do it only slightly, or you will stall and crash. You can go into the editor and mess around first if you dont want to risk dying. This sounds crazy, but the biplane is the hardest plane to fly, so use caution.

This, make sure you get up to speed before pulling up or you'll fall like a stone... I prefer to just wait until it takes off by itself.

Make sure you have enough runway and make sure its clear, ie, no cars, or people.

Accelerate as long as you can before needing to pull up. This will help ensure you do not stall and crash.

It will pull up by itself eventually.

Landing... two ways. If you do not feel confident in lading, just eject where you want.

If you feel you can do this, go for it..

I prefer actually landing.

1.Line up straight with the runway. Setting a map marker helps a lot.

2. Lower your speed using Z, I like to get to about 100 or lower when landing

3. Touch the front wheels, then the back

4. KEEP HOLDING Z

5. Engine off when about 15 KM/h

When on the ground, use X and C to turn the plane.

Have fun

Jesus, thanks for all the help guys but ehm...

to summarize the situation, i decided to find a guide and play in the armory to test how to fly, I got it under control and decided to give it a run.

Now the issue was, the plane was on an island.. Litteraly in front of rocks.

I had to stear it to the left a bit, bit by bit, it turned about 30-40 degrees and then it suddenly stumbled in water and exploded 5 seconds later.

I litteraly have no clue on how i would've ever gotten the plane of that island since i made my turns slowly.

Was there a way to reverze the airplane? Like making it go backwards?

It's a shame, i was really pumped :(

no it isnt

Make sure not to try a steep take off or you will stall the engine and end up as a plume of smoke, bleeding in the earth.

Also, landing can be difficult as the plane does not like to slow down at all. And as soon as you get to landing speed, don't tilt the plain or the chances of stalling is real high. Also flaps help a lot with this thing when landing, so use the scroll wheel on the mouse to make that selection.

no it isnt

What do you even mean?

AN-2 is one of the easiest to control once in the air

Its controls are slower, but its easy to take off and land as long as you arent a retard, unfortunately these are the dayz forums

[Hetstaine 10852]

You are so helpful snooplion.

I assumed he meant it was harder to control the fighter jets... :0

Evidently not...?

I said it is hard to control on the ground. Learn to read before you call another a retard.

Yes, the fighter jets take off much faster, and easier in my opinion. They are also more maneuverable while flying, at least in my experience.

Yeah ive hit 600+ in F-35s, and they take off in about 20 meters

AN-2 is nice an easy, dont expect to do any crazy shit

If you can, also rebind the key to 'power the engine' to "shift", this way you will have an easier time having your fingers on the right buttons already. Hope it helped!
